What happens between a browser, proxy, and website
For HTTPS, the browser asks the proxy to open a TCP tunnel and then negotiates TLS with the origin. A failure before CONNECT, a certificate error after CONNECT, and an HTTP status from the site belong to different stages.

SOCKS5 capabilities and limits
SOCKS5 relays connections by host and port and can carry a domain name, IPv4, or IPv6. The standard defines CONNECT, BIND, and UDP ASSOCIATE, although many clients and services guarantee only CONNECT.

Why a SOCKS5 password is not encryption
RFC 1929 authenticates a username and password but provides no encryption for those values inside the SOCKS connection. It controls access to the proxy rather than confidentiality of application traffic.

Why an HTTP proxy can fail before the site opens
An HTTP proxy may reject a request before contacting the origin because of an invalid request target, missing Proxy-Authorization, blocked port, or malformed CONNECT line.

HTTP/2 through a proxy
HTTP/2 multiplexes several streams over one connection, reducing repeated TCP and TLS setup. The client-to-proxy tunnel and the proxy-to-origin hop may still negotiate different protocols.

HTTP/3 proxy support depends on the client
HTTP/3 runs over QUIC and UDP, while classic HTTP CONNECT usually creates a TCP tunnel. A browser may use HTTP/3 directly and fall back to HTTP/2 or HTTP/1.1 through a proxy.

What HTTPS protects when using a proxy
TLS protects content and authenticates the destination unless the client trusts an intercepting certificate authority. A CONNECT proxy still observes the destination, timing, and approximate volume.

IPv6 proxy addresses and application compatibility
An IPv6 literal with a port uses brackets, such as [2001:db8::1]:1080, so address colons cannot be confused with the port separator.

Why the browser connects while a script times out
Modern browsers can race IPv6 and IPv4 and keep the working path, while a simple script may wait for the first address to time out.
